Día de los Muertos Altar Celebration and Procession

Día de los Muertos Altar Celebration and Procession

Join Fleisher and the official Día de los Muertos committee Calaca Flaca (Skinny Skeleton) in November as we hold our fifth Día de los Muertos celebration. With a theme of the Mayan Afterworld, it begins with a series of workshops focused on the traditional Mexican holiday and concludes with two altar celebrations, a vigil, and a procession through South Philadelphia. Fleisher’s Día de los Muertos celebration is presented by PECO.

Our main Día de los Muertos celebration is on today in the Sanctuary, but because of the poor weather outlook it will not begin with the previously planned procession through the neighborhood. Please join us beginning at 4 p.m. to explore the elaborate altar installation created by artists Ana Palma and César Viveros, enjoy performances, and shop with our craft and food vendors!
